Paul offers expert advice on DIY bathroom remodels, drawing from his experience with client projects and personal home renovations. He is available for email interviews or phone/video calls to provide valuable insights and tips for your next bathroom transformation.

Paul highlights that a bold sofa can add personality and become a conversation piece. "Dark colors hide stains and create coziness," he notes, while light ones brighten spaces. To ensure harmony, he advises, "Always get swatches of the fabrics you’re considering first" to test at home before committing to a bold choice.

Paul emphasizes the importance of versatile lighting, recommending "high-quality LED under-cabinet lights with a CRI of 90+ for vibrant colors." He suggests recessed lights with narrow beams for functionality and decorative pendants for ambiance. Paul advises using 3,000K bulbs for functional lighting and 2,700K for pendants to maintain a cohesive warmth.
